Response collaboration among multiple artificial intelligence (AI) systems

1. A method for collaborating among multiple electronically communicating AI (Artificial Intelligence) devices for responding to a request, comprising:

detecting and identifying devices that are each communicable with a user and electronically communicating and interacting with their respective AI systems;

generating an answer, in response to receiving a request or an instruction by a user at a device of the identified devices, the answer resulting from collaboration of the identified devices and their respective AI systems;

determining a responding device from the identified devices based on criteria, the criteria including a location of a requesting user, a location of one of the identified devices, and a threshold for selecting the responding device, the threshold including rating, in an order of importance, responding device scenarios for delivering the answer;

selecting one of the identified devices to deliver the answer based on the criteria which includes meeting the threshold; and

responding, using the selected device, by generating an audible communication with the answer which communicates a response to the user.
